The Coral - The Curse of Love lyrics

[Verse 1] The curse has begun Yesterday's gone Now there is so much to lose Illusion and fear Confusion and tears It's more than any cross could bear [Chorus] The curse of love The curse of love [Verse 2] Emperors will cry Empires will fall And soldiers they'll hang their heads Time strikes its [?], the last sword is drawn Bullets straight to the heart [Chorus] [Verse 3] Widows they weep In their restless sheets No one will hold them tonight And way down below Dark figures flow In shadows against the wall [Chorus]
